Remove hoses to AIC (auto idle control) unit on top of manifold and remove unit .Remove the 2 long bolts through frt. & rear bushings of the engine torque mount arm noteing one is 14 mm & one is 17mm .Remove the torque arm by pushing it rearwards . Lay a protective sheet over the engine . cover all except top mount.Use a hacksaw or metal cutting elec. saw ("Sawzall" etc.) to cut through one of the slots in the rubber bushing and into the metal part on the outer circumference of the rubber . Be careful not to cut into the mount itself .Keep saw blade parallel to the edge of the housing and cut a bit at a time . When you are almost through the bushing metal , stop sawing and use a punch to hammer it out . Check for burrs and use emery paper to clean up any .Replace bushing . Replace torque arm . Pat self on back !
Good luck
